The Public Good and the Brazilian State dives deep into the interstices of municipal public goods. Stepping back from the more expected econometric analyses, this book displays the actual goods provided and the choices and trade-offs that municipalities had to make in order to meet their obligations to citizens. Slaughterhouses, vaccination centers, hospitals, schools, roads, bridges, drainage systems, water fountains, and public buildings are the stuff of this book. Hanley's richly detailed and carefully researched account will make strong contributions to the histories of municipal finance and Brazil, as well as the field of urban history more broadly. --Gail D. Triner, Rutgers University
